This resolution extends condolences on the passing of Mississippi Representative Charles L. Young, Jr., who died on December 19, 2024, at age 62. The document provides a comprehensive tribute to Young's life and political career, highlighting that he was a Democrat first elected in 2012 to represent the 82nd District in Lauderdale County, following in his father's political footsteps. Young served four terms in the House of Representatives and was actively involved in committees including Corrections, Medicaid, Appropriations, Ethics, and Public Health and Human Services. Beyond his legislative work, he was a businessman in cosmetic sales and was known for advocating for human rights and supporting Mississippi's move to a modern state flag. The resolution acknowledges Young's significant contributions to his community, his quick wit, and his infectious smile, and formally extends the Mississippi Senate's condolences to his surviving family, with instructions to present the resolution to his family and make it available to the Capitol Press Corps.
